Blogging Part 1: Setting Up Your Blog
By Barry McDonald
Blogging is a lucrative source of profit and blogs are easy to set up and maintain. Imagine a life where you are paid to write on stuff that interests you, whenever you want, wherever you are. The mere flexibility of blogging makes it easy for you to just kick back, relax and go on a vacation whenever you feel like it.
In this article, we are going to look into the profitability of a blog and set up a blog of our own at no cost! Interested? Read on!
First, we need to obtain a blog. There are several options - host a blog on your own domain or get a free blog. For starters, let's talk about the free blogs. You can obtain a free blog at www.blogger.com or the newer (and better!) www.wordpress.com. If you are a techie, you must have heard of Wordpress, a free blog engine that is robust and infinitely expandable.
Blogger.com is actually owned by Google, so it will be detected on Google's radar faster and you will be indexed faster. Wordpress.com, however, is a relatively new option so I have no comparison on the speed of getting indexed by search engines. However, Wordpress is better in the sense that it has more advanced features such as Trackbacks and Categories. You can also manage your sidebar links more efficiently (more about this later).
Get a free blog at either Blogger.com (http://www.blogger.com/signup.g) or Wordpress (http://wordpress.com/signup/). Then, familiarize yourself by posting your first post on your blog and tinkering around with the options and templates.
Here are a few common "blog-related" words to help you out:
1) Permalink - Permalink stands for permanent link, which is a URL (uniform resource locator) that leads to an individual post that you make in your blog.
2) Trackback - When you post about someone else's blog post elsewhere, your post will show up in their "trackback" section. This feature, however, is not available with a Blogger.com account.
3) Pinging - Blogging seems to be paired with pinging almost every time either one is mentioned nowadays. Pinging is actually the action where a certain aggregator is notified whenever your blog is updated, so that the aggregator may show the newest post of your blog on their website. This is a useful way to gaining traffic, which we shall discuss later.
For now, I shall leave you testing out your new blog and the features that come included with it. In the next articles, we shall discuss the many ways we can gain profit from a blog, as well as tips on how to write posts that keep visitors glued and keep coming back for more!

Blogging is a new thing for me and I always heard you could make money at it. Now, I know I can make money at it. This guide shows you how step by step.
It's main value is showing you how to get traffic and how to get ranked. Honestly, there were three things to this guide that made it worth it. The first is that my blog got listed very quickly not only in MSN, but also Yahoo, and Google.
The second is how to make money without a website of my own, but one that gets high rankings because of its affiliation with Google. If you're an affiliate and you don't have a website, this is a perfect start to making great money with affiliate programs. In fact, if you purchase both Adwords Miracle and this guide, you will be set to make great money with a little work.
The last thing that makes this program worth the cost is that it offers some unique tips you will not find anywhere else.

| Adwords Miracle | ||
|
If you're an affiliate marketer or if you're thinking about becoming an affiliate marketer, you need Adwords Miracle! With all the changes in search engine marketing, you need a guide whose methods are tried and true and ever expanding as search engine marketing changes. I've tried several products so far, but Adwords Miracle tops them all. I went from $100 a week to over $100 a day since I bought this product - no joke! By far, the best affiliate marketing guide using adwords
out there. Most of the others give you information you can find pretty much anywhere on the web, but Adwords Miracle you can definitely tell is written from real life experience and shares a great deal of knowledge about creating successful money-making adwords campaigns.
This is you're step-by-step guide from beginning as an affiliate marketer to becoming a successful affiliate marketer! If you pass Adwords Miracle up, you are literally passing up money on the table.

Affiliate Jackpot is a great place to begin with adwords. After I bought the guide, my earnings showed a definite improvement. No, it wasn't an over
night miracle, but it did give me some tips to increase my earnings and begin the road to making more money. In fact, without the guide I probably would have stopped
all of my campaigns and given up hope in ever making money with adwords. If you are a pro already, I suggest you get adwords miracle first as it will offer you more bang for your buck and you will be making more money within days of buying it
